Switchfoot By The Numbers

"We were meant to live for so much more.."

"Hello hurricane, you can't silence my love!"

"If it doesn't break your heart, it isn't love."

"I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall."

"When I look at the stars, I see someone else."

"Every breath is a second chance."

"We are the children of the scar, I wanna start from the start"

"This is home, this is home, now I'm finally where I belong."

"Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here."

"I know now, You're my only hope."

2:    hours standing in line at the gates of Ultra.
5: (or more) new friends Jotham made, while standing in said line.


4:   number of bets made about which song Switchfoot will sing first (Iya - Yet, May: Dare You To Move, Jotham: Hello Hurricane, Bianca and Hayz: Made To Live)
150:  pesos worth of dessert the bet's winner could order.
4 : (or so) other bets made that night --- time the show would start, number of songs they would play, name of the opening act. 
0:   actual number of winners that night.

16:   number of songs in total, that Switchfoot performed that night, which included Always (Jotham's favorite), This Is Home, (Iya's favorite), Meant To Live (Bianca and Hayzel's favorite), Only Hope (Mainstream ako! My favorite)
3:  number of songs we were hoping they would play, but didn't (Yet, Sing It Out and You).

2: eyes on Shariya's face that gave us a withering look when we suggested dinner to her "friend." 
11:  the hour that we were finally able to eat dinner at Dencio's Metrowalk.

1 : ONE AMAZING GOD, who brought us together, to watch this AMAZING, BLESSED band, whose songs fill our nights, resplendent.

I think I like "Your Love Is A Song" the most. :) And thanks! Hope you find it interesting. It's all about food pretty much.
